I am unaware of this exists or if this is something that is even possible in Canvas. But one of my favorite features of grading in the Google Classroom grader was the ability to grade a single question at a time, and grade every single submission's q...

My assignment's tab is getting really long. Two main concerns here: 1. There is no way to sort alphabetically, due date, etc., seems pretty archaic for 2025 2. There is no way to multi-select assignments to delete, move, etc. Can the instructor side ...
